Work,energy And Power Flashcards
What are the 4 energy stores
Gravitational
Mechanical
Nuclear
Electrical
What are the energy transfers
Radiation
Electrically
Mechanically
The principle of conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
Work done =
Force x distance moved in the direction of the force
What does the area under the force distance graph represent
Area = work done
Whats the equation of energy stored in a spring
0.5 X force X extension
Equation for Ek
0.5 X mass X velocity ^ 2
Equation for Ep
Mass X gravitational constant X change in height
How much energy is transferred from gravitational potential to kinetic energy
In a ideal system all energy is transferred however in reality some will be lost
What is power
Rate of energy transferred
Power equation
Change in energy /change in time
How can power and work done be combined
Power = force x distance covered per second
What is the equation for efficiency in relation to energy transferred
Efficiency = useful energy transferred by a machine/ energy supplied
What is the equation for efficiency in relation to work done
Efficiency = work done by the machine / energy supplied to the machine
Percentage efficiency equation
Percentage efficiency = (output of a machine /input of a machine ) *100
